BoULANGER is said to have re pile

BOULANGER is Sa1u TO nave re piled
In answer to a request to lead a
coup d etat, for the restoration of the
monarchy: eff ever / take part is a
coup d etat it will be against the mon
archists to maintain the republic"
This patriotic sentiment settles the
fate of France. The only man who
could have any chance of success in
an attempt to restore monarchy and
legitimacy to France, Indignantly
refuses to lead the movement, and
declares his devotion to republican
principles. If, therefore, the present
ministry in France has to go, there is
no probability of its being succeeded
by any thing but republican cab
met organized on a new principle,
and if Boulanger is sincere, 1t settles
the fate of the Bourbon dynasty, and
the Buonapartists pretensions, al
least, for some time to come.
